Chapter 408: Your Majesty’s Hands Are So Warm
Chapter 408: Your Majesty’s Hands Are So Warm
That night, the moonlight was cold and clear.
After spending most of the day in Changle Palace, Fei Wan was exhausted after returning to Chunxi Palace. She slept from dusk until almost midnight. When she woke up, she felt hungry, so she ordered a midnight snack, put on her clothes, and got up to eat.
The slow-cooked chicken soup with red dates was sweet and fragrant, and paired with soft rose cake, sour bamboo shoots and duck breast, and a few green side dishes. Feiwan had a hearty meal.
I broke out in a sweat while eating and felt much refreshed.
So he asked someone to prepare some water, and after about two or three quarters of an hour, when he had almost digested everything, he went to take a warm bath.
She had injuries, especially a deep and long wound on her back that couldn't be easily exposed to water. Xiang Yi led two palace maids to serve beside her and helped Fei Wan clean it carefully.
Fei Wan lay on the edge of the padded bathtub, squinting her eyes comfortably, like a lazy cat.
He murmured, "When I'm hungry, I have delicious meals. When I'm tired, I can sleep soundly. When I want to take a shower, you guys help me. My life is so comfortable now."
Xiangyi couldn't understand.
"My lady, your wounds don't hurt anymore?"
Even with such a serious wound, he still said it felt comfortable.
Fei Wan smiled silently and did not answer.
It hurts a lot, but compared to the sufferings of my previous life, these are great days.
After all, in my previous life, I was suffering from injuries and pain, and I didn’t have the luxury of fine clothes and delicious food that I have now.
Fei Wan thought quietly.
If she had stopped there, with her ability to charm the emperor, maintaining his favor and living a luxurious life would have been no problem. Even if the country were to fall apart one day and the emperor fled the capital to establish a temporary court elsewhere, he would have his harem by his side. Wherever he went, she would be a favored concubine.
But, will you be willing to accept it?
will not!
The painful past in her previous life, the deaths she had witnessed, and the blood and gore of the invasion of the capital this time, would not allow her to indulge in wealth and luxury.
So, take a break and then move on.
Fei Wan gently closed her eyes and took a nap beside the bucket, allowing herself to indulge herself a little and rest.
There is still a lot to do tomorrow.
The warm water was gently scooped up by the maids and sprinkled on her body, and she enjoyed it comfortably.
After a while, the maid stopped serving.
Probably to get some moisturizing lotion, Fei Wan lay there lazily, waiting.
But I suddenly felt something strange in my heart.
She immediately gathered her scattered mind and became alert.
The footsteps were getting closer, but they were not the light footsteps of the maids.
It's a man's.
So who else could it be?
Fei Wan sighed secretly. She was not allowed to rest for the whole night. She had to cheer up again.
Sure enough, the next moment, there was an extra hand on the shoulder, with a broad palm and thin calluses on the palms and fingertips.
"Hands as soft as catkins, skin as smooth as cream, my beloved concubine deserves these eight words."
"His Majesty?!"
Fei Wan's body trembled, and she jumped up suddenly like a frightened deer.
He turned around in surprise.
Wet eyes stared at the newcomer.
“Your Majesty, why are you here…!!”
Hibiscus emerges from the water.
The front of the fair and delicate body suddenly appeared before the emperor.
The water splashes lightly.
The emperor's gaze instantly deepened as he stared at the woman's beautiful body.
Glancing unscrupulously.
Fei Wan "suddenly" came to his senses and realized his situation.
She screamed shyly, "Your Majesty, do not look at me if it is inappropriate!"
Plop back into the bucket.
The clear water splashed, and only the part above her neck was exposed. Her face was flushed, and she looked at the emperor with shame and condemnation.
The emperor smiled.
"Oh, my lady, your wound! Don't let it get wet!"
Xiangyi's low exclamation was heard beside her.
"hiss……"
Fei Wan frowned, showing a painful expression, and bit her lip to endure it.
"What's wrong?" The emperor stopped smiling and looked concerned.
Fei Wan moved her body in the water, as if she was about to cry.
The frown deepened.
Looks very uncomfortable.
Xiang Yi quickly said, "Your Majesty, my queen's back is badly injured and it hurts so much when it gets wet."
"Help her out now!"
The emperor reached out to lift Fei Wan out of the water.
Fei Wan refused and fell down with all her strength: "Your Majesty... please, please go out first and allow me to get dressed..."
"...You!" the emperor sighed.
Half angry and half heartbroken, he turned around and left.
This Zhaoqing is so shy!
He waited for about a quarter of an hour in the bedroom before Fei Wan, wearing only a thin nightgown, was led out by a maid. Her steps were very slow, as if each step required great patience.
When the emperor saw this, his anger disappeared and he was left with only heartache.
"Does it hurt so much?"
He quickly stepped forward and held Fei Wan with his own hands.
Fei Wan's pale and fragile face looked even clearer and thinner under the candlelight, making people feel pity for her.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm not in any pain. It's just that the wound got a little wet, and it's a little uncomfortable. It will be fine in a while."
Her understatement could not conceal the trembling in her voice.
It clearly hurts.
The emperor hugged her, walked with her step by step to the bed, and helped her sit down.
"Who told you to soak the wound in water? Call the imperial physician!"
"Your Majesty, there's no need!" Fei Wan hurriedly stopped him. "It's the middle of the night, past midnight. Why mobilize so many people to summon the imperial physician? If you really care about me, then..."
She bit her lip lightly, her face flushed, her eyes sparkling, "Just help me apply the medicine yourself, okay?"
The look of her clearly wanting the emperor to get close to her but being extremely shy made the emperor's already restless heart feel as if being brushed by the softest feather, making it even more itchy.
"Then I will help you apply the medicine."
The emperor took the ointment brought by the maid, waved them away, and personally served Fei Wan.
Fei Wan was half lying on the head of the bed, with her clothes taken off, exposing her entire back to the emperor.
There was a deep wound on the originally smooth back, which had not yet healed completely, like a twisted red line.
It should have looked ugly and scary, but for some reason, the emperor didn't find it ugly at all.
On the contrary, because the waist below the back was extremely soft and smoothly constricted, he dipped his fingers in the ointment and smeared it on Fei Wan's back, and actually had some improper thoughts.
Rub your fingers in circles around the wound.
All the way from the shoulder blades to the waist.
"Zhao Qing."
The man's voice was a little hoarse.
"His Majesty."
Fei Wan's tone was also gentler than usual, "Your Majesty's hands are so warm and strong."
She lay on the pillow, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the man behind her with shy eyes.
"I don't know how to thank you enough. You are a king, yet you take care of me like this... I feel unworthy, but... I love it so much."
She caught the king's eye with her gentle gaze and pursed her lips.
"I want you to apply it again."
This goblin!
The emperor could hardly control himself.
No wonder, some people in the court have always called her a witch concubine and a vixen.
"Your Majesty, why are you not moving?"
Fei Wan slowly stood up from the bed, and the thin shirt on her body slipped off.
Only the bib was left.
The hexagonal bib made of light pink brocade, with gold edging and embroidered with the pattern of newly blossomed magnolia flowers, made her skin look even more radiant and charming.
